ARGUMENTS BEFORE SECRETARY LAMAR TO-DAY
THE GUILFORD MILLER CASE.
Col Geo. Gray, OF New York, counsel for the
Northern Pacific Railroad Co., In company with
Mr. j. K Mendenhall, OF this city, appeared before
Secretary Lamar to-day, and made an Argument
in regard to the settlement OF the indemnity Land
question. His proposition on behalf OF the COM
pany to the Secretary was that the company
should ascertain the amount OF their losses within
the granted limits OF the road. AS only portion
of the granted lands had been Surveye the
amount OF the losses could only be ascertained ap-
proX1mately, but the result could be verified 10
certain extent from the records OF the Land
Office. The company should then be allowed TO
select from the lands now held for indemnity
purposes Sftlcient amount TO cover these losses
and that the balance remaining Of the indemnity ty
lands should be restored to the public domain
For any losses subsequently discovered the
company would be willing TO take its
chances and make selections from the
unOccupied lands. Col Gray referred TO the Gull
ford Miller case, and said that while the company
had no objection to the conclusions or the PreSi-
dent In this case it was known that Guilrord MIL
ler was not bona 1de settler, and that his case
had not been raised by the company, but by the
register OF the land Office who had written to the
General Land Ohice for return of the filings
made by Miller because they had been admitted
through an error. The Secretary reserved his de-
ctSiOn.
